0.9% was the growth of agricultural Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2011 and 2020, signaling a marked slowdown in productivity (IBD, 2025).

2.9% per year was the growth of agricultural output in LAC since 1961, driven by a 1.7% annual TFP (Total factor productivity) increase (IBD, 2025).

Up to 70% of agricultural productivity growth in Latin America and the Caribbean is reduced when environmental costs are taken into account. The increase in production has been driven mainly by the intensive use of inputs rather than by technological or managerial improvements, highlighting the need for policies that integrate sustainability and innovation.

In 2023, the relative internal productivity of the Agriculture sector in Latin America and the Caribbean was 44 (with total productivity coefficient = 100), showing its lag compared to sectors with higher productivity, according to the sectoral graph of the report (ECLAC, 2025).
En 2023, la productividad relativa interna del sector Agricultura en América Latina y el Caribe fue 44 (con coeficiente de productividad total = 100), evidenciando su rezago frente a sectores de mayor productividad, según el gráfico sectorial del informe (CEPAL, 2025).
29.7% was Latin America and the Caribbean’s relative labor productivity compared to the European Union (ECLAC, 2025).

2.2% was the decrease in hourly productivity in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2024 compared to the previous year (ECLAC, 2025).
El 2,2% fue la disminución de la productividad por hora en América Latina y el Caribe en 2024 respecto del año anterior (CEPAL, 2025).
2011 was the year from which the report identifies a downward trend in total factor productivity in the region (ECLAC, 2025).
2011 fue el año a partir del cual el informe identifica una tendencia a la baja de la productividad total de los factores en la región (CEPAL, 2025).
This study evaluates the effect of different bio-ferments on the morphology and quality of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings under nursery conditions. Treatments were compared based on parameters such as height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and seedling quality. The results show significant improvements in growth when bio-ferments are applied, highlighting their potential as an agroecological input for early stages of cacao development (Chuquizuta et al., 2025).

State support for the Peruvian agricultural sector (2019–2022) is analyzed using the OECD methodology (PSE and GSSE), quantifying subsidies, general services, and competitiveness programs, and linking them to the sector's GHG emissions. It assesses its consistency with the NDCs and the National Agricultural Policy 2021–2030, highlighting the need to reorient incentives towards climate-smart and low-carbon agricultural practices.
